The first known European arrived in New Zealand with a fleet led by abel tasman, a Dutchman. At 1642, the air is in the northwest and south of the island. The Dutch didn't know that the North Island and the South Island were separate, so they all named it Staaten Landt (state). Later, according to their Bata Congji in Indonesia, it was named Niuzilan. The Bata Vial base is named after the Dutch province of Ceylon.
1769, Captain James Cook began to study New Zealand at close range. He visited the South Pacific and New Zealand three times and drew a map for New Zealand. But in the original version of the map, he regarded Stewart Island as a peninsula and drew Banks Peninsula as an island. Cook led the European whaling fleet to expand in New Zealand waters, and he pushed New Zealand to eventually become a European colony.
New Zealand became a British colony in 1840 due to the Treaty of Waitangi on the Lower Don Iraq. The treaty with the Tang Dynasty has English and Maori versions, and the representatives of the British royal family signed it in English, while the Maori groups signed it in Chinese. The Maori version has Tang Yi's commitment to the New Zealand Maori Treaty "tino rangatiratanga". This word is translated into "leader" of the treaty between Iraq and Tang Dynasty in English, but in status, it means "gross autonomy". Everyone has a different understanding of this word, and some other issues have caused a bad feeling between the government and Maori. For example, the ownership of seabed and beach precedes "ownership".
